A case of awesomeness in the Neovim Plugin Community: SnipRun

  A neovim plugin to run lines/blocs of code (independently of the rest of the file), supporting multiples languages

This might be off topic but I found this exchange so refreshing and uplifting that I wanted to share it, to encourage others to contribute to open source and to make sure they realize how much of a difference this makes. The author has repeatedly, with an outstanding degree of kindness, responded to rookie questions from others, and helped me debug the setup on my MacBook Air. I thus opened the feature request https://github.com/michaelb/sniprun/issues/61 , I'd been thinking about this for months why this isn't available in neovim yet. It seemed to fit exactly in the scope of SnipRun and after seeing the responsiveness of the author I thought there might be a chance to implement this over the next few months. And the author was not only very kind about it, but implemented the feature in less than 12 hours! To me this is beyond cool - and if we could as a community experiment with ideas in this way more frequently, I'm pretty sure we'd have flying cars by now.

I've noticed this project before, and added it to my list of things to check out. I never got around to it yet, but this post increase my curiosity. I've also noted the somewhat similar asynctasks.vim and asyncrun.vim plugins, as well as the more recent tasks.vim. You already write about similar projects in your README, but these are not mentioned. Are you aware of them, and do you have a comment on how these plugins compare to yours?
